1 Corinthians 11:3-16

3But I wantG2309 you to understandG3609 that ChristG5547 is the 1headG2776 of everyG3956 manG435, and 23the manG435 is the headG2776 of a womanG1135, and GodG2316 is the 4headG2776 of ChristG5547. 4EveryG3956 manG435 who hasG2192 something on his headG2776 while prayingG4336 orG2228 5prophesyingG4395 disgracesG2617 his headG2776. 5But everyG3956 6womanG1135 who has her headG2776 uncoveredG177 while prayingG4336 orG2228 prophesyingG4395 disgracesG2617 her headG2776, for it is oneG1520 and the sameG846 as the womanG1135 7whose head is 8shavedG3587. 6For ifG1487 a womanG1135 does not coverG2619 9her head, have her alsoG2532 10cutG2751 her hairG2751 offG2751; howeverG1161, ifG1487 it is disgracefulG150 for a womanG1135 to 11have her hairG2751 cutG2751 offG2751 orG2228 12her head shavedG3587, have her coverG2619 13her head. 7For a manG435 shouldG3784 not have his headG2776 coveredG2619, since he is the 14imageG1504 and gloryG1391 of GodG2316; but the womanG1135 is the gloryG1391 of manG435. 8For 15manG435 16does not originateG1510 from womanG1135, but womanG1135 from manG435; 9for indeedG2532 manG435 was not createdG2936 for the woman’sG1135 sakeG1223, but 17womanG1135 for the man’sG435 sakeG1223. 10ThereforeG1223G3778 the womanG1135 shouldG3784 haveG2192 a symbol of authorityG1849 on her headG2776, becauseG1223 of the angelsG32. 11HoweverG4133, in the LordG2962, neitherG3777 is womanG1135 18independentG5565 of manG435, norG3777 is manG435 19independentG5565 of womanG1135. 12For as the womanG1135 originated from the manG435, soG3779 alsoG2532 the manG435 has his birth throughG1223 the womanG1135; and 20allG3956 thingsG3956 originate 21from GodG2316. 1322JudgeG2919 23for yourselvesG4771G846: is it properG4241 for a womanG1135 to prayG4336 to GodG2316 with her head uncoveredG177? 14Does evenG3761 natureG5449 itselfG846 not teachG1321 you that ifG1437 a manG435 hasG2863 longG2863 hairG2863, it is a dishonorG819 to him, 15but ifG1437 a womanG1135 hasG2863 longG2863 hairG2863, it is a gloryG1391 to her? For her hairG2864 is givenG1325 to her as a coveringG4018. 16But ifG1487 anyoneG5100 is inclinedG1380 to be contentiousG5380, 24we haveG2192 noG3756 25suchG5108 practiceG4914, norG3761 have 26the churchesG1577 of GodG2316.
